How are one bedrooms looking for September?

I decided to look at the trend for The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa room availability for the next 7 months as the 11 month availability looks pretty good. These are my "observations" based on checking all available rooms from Oct 28 until May 28. It appears that anything with a studio or lockoff is hard to book. Studio standard view - only 6 nights free until April then 10 nights available in May. thus, if you want this, you MUST book at 7 months or even walk a reservation. Studio lake view - 0 nights free until April then 6 nights available in May. thus, if you want this, you MUST book at 7 months or even walk a reservation. 1 bedroom standard - 3 rooms available until Jan 31, 9 in march, 20 in april, almost everything except 2 nights available in may. You MUST book at 5 months or longer 1 bedroom lake - 3 rooms available until Feb 28, 8 in march, 19 in april, almost everything except 6 nights available in may 2 bedroom standard - 7 rooms available until Jan 31, 17 in Feb, 20 in march, 23 in april, everything available in may. You MUST book at 5 months or longer 2 bedroom standard (lock-off) - 0 rooms available until Jan 31, 2 in Feb, 0 in march, 2 in april, 8 in may. You MUST book at 7 months or longer 2 bedroom lake - 5 rooms available until Jan 31, 15 in Feb, 17 in march, 23 in april, everything available in april and may. You MUST book at 5 months or longer 2 bedroom lake (lock-off) - 0 rooms available until may and even those get booked up at the 7 month mark. You MUST book at 7 months or longer and walk these reservations. 3 bedroom lake - 3 rooms available until December 31, 5 in January, 20 in February, 23 in march, almost everything in april and may. You must book these at 5 months or longer.

How do you find out the number of rooms available?

I am only looking at 7 months out, but availability NOW is good and will quickly disappear between 5-7 months before check-in.

search....I will send you a PM as posting that would violate DIS rules

I called the day of 7 month window for a late May trip and couldn't get a 2BR Standard Lock-off, but did get the Dedicated. Just supporting your statistics.

Did you ask for a lockoff?

Some resorts like BLT or SSR or AKV have much more lock-off inventory and they regularly offer both options, but it appears that VGF are in very tight supply.

I did ask for a lockoff. I'm satisfied with either, but a lockoff would've been more ideal for our travel party.
